EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Alverton House, Truro, Cornwall, taken in the early 1900s. The image showcases the rear view of this magnificent manor, revealing its two wings and offering a glimpse into its rich history. Dating back to 1830, the oldest section of Alverton House was originally constructed for William Tweedy of Truro Vean. However, from 1883 to 1983, it served as the cherished home for the Community of the Epiphany - a group of devoted nuns who resided within these walls. During their occupancy, they added a beautiful chapel that still stands today as a testament to their spiritual devotion. Photographed by Arthur Philp, this remarkable snapshot captures not only the architectural beauty but also hints at the serene ambiance that once enveloped this place. Nestled amidst lush Cornish gardens and surrounded by tranquility, Alverton House exudes an air of timeless elegance. Intriguingly transformed into a hotel in 1984 while retaining its historical charm and character, Alverton continues to welcome visitors seeking solace and relaxation within its hallowed halls. This print serves as both a window into Cornwall's past and an invitation to experience firsthand the enchanting allure that has captivated countless souls throughout generations.
